Experiencing Outside Ankle Pain? Causes and Solutions
Ankle pain,on the outside

Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 8th Mar '25
Experiencing discomfort on the outer part of your ankle can stem from various causes, such as strained ligaments, tendon issues, or even inflammation. Common signs include swelling, tenderness, and difficulty with movement. To support recovery, consider rest, ice application, and gentle elevation of the foot. Over-the-counter medications may also help manage pain. If these symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend seeking professional evaluation from a orthopedist. They can offer tailored advice and ensure there are no underlying concerns.

Foot bone surgery is difficult. Sinks and screws are important. X-rays are also important after surgery. If you have pain, swelling, or limited movement, see your orthopedist. Go for regular check-ups to get better.

Hi..I am a 39 year old female and slipped and fell on a wet floor at a function that I attended. However my foot started swelling up and my knee and the side of my knee is painful and swollen although I can walk with a limp so I don't think anything is broken...could it be Muscle injury or tendons etc...
Female | 39
According to the symptoms you are going through, it is likely that you bruised your knee or your muscles or tendons around it got injured. This might present as a combination of swelling, pain, and immobility of the leg Lie down while putting your feet up, apply a cold compress to the area, stretch your leg, and wrap it with a long elastic bandage to reduce swelling. If the pain persists, replays, or intensifies, or you find it hard to bear its weight, go to the orthopaedist.

Does Knee replacement affect your nerves?
Nerve damage may also occur as a result of knee replacement surgery because the peroneal nerve resides close to the tibia bone. In fact, nerve damage is one reason why some patients with knee replacement complain of persistent lateral knee pain and loss of function.
Consult orthopedists, who will explain you in detail about the complications of knee replacement surgery. Hope our answer helps you.

Hello doctor ji mujhe kal se bohot bukhar hay or sathmein mera right leg achanak se bohot zyada full raha hay kya ap muje bata sakte hay ki kiun aisa ho raha hay
Male | 21
A high fever and a sudden swelling in your right leg could be an infection. There are numerous causes of infections such as germs entering your body. It is of course important to take a break, drink fluids, and then use the cold pack on the swollen area. A consultation with an orthopedist allows proper treatment and determining the cause of the disease.

How to increas disk space between L5 and S1
Female | 21
There is lesser space between the L5 and S1 vertebrae which contributes to back pain and leg pain. This is mainly due to aging or a slipped disc. You can create more room by strengthening your core muscles that support the spine. Additionally, proper posture and regular physical activity are important in relieving the pressure on these vertebrae. You can also visit an orthopedist for further treatment.

I am 21 years old and I've got severe neck from past a year when I move my neck side way's I feel cracking sound from it and pains now extended to back
Male | 21
You may have some problems with your neck, such as strained muscles. The cracking noise could be coming from your joints. If you sit with your head bent down for a long time or do not move around much this can happen. It’s important to gently stretch and move your neck. You may want to do some exercises that will make the muscles in your neck stronger too. If the pain doesn’t stop, it would be best for you to see an orthopedist who can give more advice on what's going wrong.

I am a 17-year-old female who is recovering from a mild knee ligament stretch. I had a splint for 2 weeks and had been recovering for over a month. Yesterday, I played badminton because my knee felt good. However, I had an awkward fall and twisted my knee. It hurt at first, but I can walk and climb stairs relatively normally. It hurts when I fully straighten my knee or tighten it. There is no buckling of the knee. The pain is a little achey and a little dull. I don't know which one exactly. What should I do? Is it okay if I resume normal activities, but just be more careful and elevate my leg when I sit or lie down?
Female | 17
You might have twisted your knee again while playing badminton. Aching dull pain when you try to straighten or tighten your knee could mean the ligament has been pulled too hard. It’s great that you can still walk and go upstairs. To let it get better, you should rest as much as possible, put your leg up from time to time, and avoid doing anything too hard for a while.

Hey! Little backstory of me. I had diagnosed DVT 4 months ago. So I am still using anticoagulants. DVT cause was covid and it started on left calf. Now, few days ago I woke up and suddenly felt pain in my left foot. To be precise, on the ball of foot. No swelling or color changes. And no jumping or running or long days on foot. Just a pain. I can’t stand and put pressure on this foot. But, if I try to walk a little, the pain gets milder. It won’t completely go away, but I can manage it. First question is, can I get blood clot on bottom of my foot? Secondly, I tried to research and got no real answers, so maybe you could take a guess. Age 29, weight 80kg.
Male | 29
Yes, getting a blood clot in the small vessels of your foot is something that can happen, but it is rare. The pain that you have may be nerve problems or strain. Be observant of it and if it does not go away or worsens, do not hesitate to contact an orthopedist for a check-up to be on the safe side.

I have a sprain in my finger for 2 weeks
Male | 23
Your finger has been sprained. This happens when the ligaments (bands connecting bones) stretch or tear. It leads to pain, swelling, and trouble moving your finger. To aid recovery, rest your finger. Ice it. Wrap it with a bandage. Keep it elevated. Don't move it excessively until the discomfort subsides.

I just need to know if I’m over reacting or I need to express the issue? I have a spot on my thigh but it’s larger and I hadn’t noticed it until now when I stood up and it really hurt. It’s very painful since and it’s purple and warm and red and swelling and it worried me a lot
Female | 16
It's understandable to feel concerned about the spot on your thigh, especially given the pain, warmth, swelling, and color changes you've noticed. These symptoms could suggest inflammation or possibly a bruise, but they warrant careful attention. It’s best to monitor the area for any changes in size, color, or intensity of pain. If the discomfort persists or worsens, I recommend consulting a orthopedist for a thorough evaluation. They can provide an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

how much does limb lenghtening surgery cost on femur? how much would it cost on both femur and fibula? can i have surgeries on both parts of leg at once?
Male | 18
The cost of lengthening surgery for the femur typically ranges from $20,000 to $100,000, depending on various factors such as the surgical technique used and the facility. When considering both the femur and fibula, expenses could be higher. Performing surgeries in these areas simultaneously is possible, which may save time and reduce recovery periods. It's essential to consult with an experienced orthopedic surgeon to discuss your specific needs, underlying conditions, and the best approach to achieving your goals safely. They will provide tailored recommendations and support throughout your journey.
